'Country Over Party': Dershowitz to Leave Dems If Ellison Elected DNC ChairDershowitzFeb 24, 2017 // 4:30pm Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, a high-profile Democrat for decades, said in an op-ed published Friday that he will leave the party if Rep.

"My loyalty to my country and my principles and my heritage exceeds any loyalty to my party," Dershowitz, who supported Hillary Clinton in 2016, wrote in "The Hill" newspaper.

'Country Over Party': Dershowitz to Leave Dems If Ellison Elected DNC Chair

Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, a high-profile Democrat for decades, said in an op-ed published Friday that he will leave the party if Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) is elected chairman this weekend.

"My loyalty to my country and my principles and my heritage exceeds any loyalty to my party," Dershowitz, who supported Hillary Clinton in 2016, wrote in "The Hill" newspaper....

...Dershowitz slammed Ellison for disavowing Farrakhan at the same time he was first running for office in Minneapolis, adding that his recent claims of support for Israel coincide with his bid to lead the Democratic National Committee.

Calling the DNC election a "momentous choice," Dershowitz said the party could either go the direction of British parliamentarian Jeremy Corbyn, who led a far-left shift in the Labour Party, or try to recapture the "Rust Belt" Democrats who switched their allegiance to President Trump last November....

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...

This fascinates me. All we hear about is the GOP becoming a permanent regional party and yet the democrats are weaker than they have been in a century and they are doubling down by not listening to the people and are going to have a crazy Jew hating lunatic as the face of their party.

My take as well. How many males of any race or religion will follow him? How many women will remain in a party of such open bias?

Dershowitz might be able to siphon off contributions from prominent Jewish Democrats, but unless he can get at least a third, a noticeable amount that can be molded into good PR for the opposition, then he's just one voice in a cacophony, one whisper in Babel.

I had trouble with this for many years before I figured it out. Those who support democrats place their liberalism above their faith and support for Israel.

I guess what this shows, is the Jews drew the line over Muscum running the party.Who'da thunk Joos had a limit of how much bull shit they would accept. Marxism? "Oh nooo, not a problem", Gays and pedophiles? "We welcome sexual perversion as just another lifestyle". Enslaving Blacks in drug and murder infested govt housing units? " never saw it....what are you talking about?"

He does not speak for all Jews in America. THIS Jew is accurate; THE Jews is not.

I don't quibble with the rest, but any influence Dershowitz has is not yet proved by others joining him (hence the popcorn).
